Subdivided means alt. lmb not connecting edges
Unfortunately, with that topology, the edge loop selection will always be limited to sections between &quot;quad-poles&quot; (as far as I know). However, there's a good chance you can eliminate some of the tedium of selecting all the edges manually by using &quot;Select Similar&quot;. Try with different constraints, if necessary. If there are varying sections of your edge loop (such as varying lengths, like the inner curve being shorter than the outer curve, for example), you may want to select multiple sections of different sizes (yes, this can be done), before you choose the Select Similar, to make sure you get them all.
